Palpable
tension has gripped residents of Ikorodu area of Lagos State following
the gruesome murder of a prominent leader of the Onyabo Vigilance group,
a community security outfit supported by the Local Government and
people of the ancient town.
Afeez Oseni, a chieftain of the Vigilance group in Ikorodu Central,
according to eyewitness accounts, was shot to death yesterday afternoon
at the Aga area of the town by gunmen suspected to be cult members. The
youthful Onyabo boss was said to have been with friends at the time of
his murder.
Our correspondent reported that few hours after the killing, markets
and shops within the locality hurriedly closed up amidst fear of
possible clashes between the aggrieved Onyabo members and suspected cult
kingpins.
“As I speak with you, we fear the worst. Onyabo men may decide to go
after these cultists. These cultists have made life unbearable for us in
Ikorodu and it is these Vigilance men like Geleti that has been helping
to ensure sanity around here. His death is a sad development,” another
source said.
According to the accounts of sources who spoke to The Nation, Oseni
had arrived the place where he was killed and had barely settled down on
the wooden seat he sat before his killers arrived and made for him
directly.
“They wasted no time. He was just arriving at the place when the
cultists arrived and made for him straight. They shot at him severally
and waited to ensure that he received no help before fleeing on the
motor bikes they came with. It was like a scene straight from a
Nollywood movie.
“He was left in a pool of his own blood as everybody nearby had taken
to their heels following the sporadic shootings with which the
murderers announced their arrival. They shot straight at him to prevent
him from trying to escape. It was a very terrifying sight,” our source
said.
As of the time of filing this report, the Ikorodu Division of the
Nigerian Police Force is yet to release official statement while the
spokesperson of the Police in the state, Dolapo Badmus, said the command
is yet to be informed of the murder.
